Hi,
If I use 'dir' in my program to walk through C:\windows\fonts I can get the
font file names but I want the font names, such as Courier New. Can anyone
tell me how to get to them?
Thanks,
Judith Evans

The 'official' way to get a list of fonts use EnumFontFamilies. I haven't
coded it yet, but it's on my ToDo list, along with a lot of other stuff. It
requires that you set up a callback, and read from structures.
If you want the file format for TTF, take a look at http://www.wotsit.org/.

Thanks, David,
I was hoping it would be something simple, sigh. I understand setting up the
structures but not the callbacks. Would I have to hack into winlib to set up
the callback in WinMain()?

No, you can set up your own callback without messing with Win32Lib.
At the time that Win32Lib was first written, Euphoria only supported one
callback. That's why WndProc has this funky "if not a Window call
subclassed()" logic. You can now set up as many callbacks as you want. I'm
probably going to have to set subclassed() up as a seperated callback, in
order to get TabControls working.
